On a similar note, congratulations to Smyrna for winning Region 5 and good luck against Brentwood Thursday night. I know you can win and we hope you get to represent District 9AAA at State!

Prep Notes: Independence celebrates win over Brentwood

Independence High ended a long reign by Brentwood atop the Region 6-AAA volleyball world with a straight-game win over the Bruins in the finals Tuesday at Antioch High.

 

???It??™s been a four-year journey, and it??™s great to finally get there,??™??™ said Eagles coach Stephanie Bauer, who has guided the Eagles for those four years. ???It??™s a great tribute to our seven seniors who have worked so hard to achieve this.??™??™

 

One of those seniors, Sam Serley, was named tournament MVP after the Eagles captured an impressive straight-game 25-18, 25-21, 25-19 victory over the defending state champs in just 57 minutes.

 

???Sam does so many things for us, she??™s a good setter, blocker, an all-around player,??™??™ Bauer said. ???I??™m very happy for her.??™??™

 

Tuesday??™s contest was totally different from last week??™s District 11-AAA finals match when host Independence barely scraped out a five-game victory. The last game had five total match points by both teams. On Tuesday, after Brentwood took an 8-7 lead in the first game, but the Bruins never again led in the match.

 

???For some reason, we didn??™t play with any zip, with any energy,??™??™ said coach Barbara Campbell, whose team is 39-19. ???We talked about avenging that loss in the district, but we didn??™t walk the walk.

 

???As disappointing as that was, at least we still have a chance to get to state, if we can win our sectional match,??™??™ Campbell added.

 

Chelsea Goodson, Caroline Carlton and Tess Perilli all made all-tournament for Independence, while Angelle Hayes and Natalie Brown were all-tourney for BHS.

 

Both teams advance to Thursday??™s sectionals.

 

If both teams win sectionals, it wouldn??™t be beyond the scope to see the two teams playing in the AAA finals in next week??™s state tournament at Murfreesboro.

 

Brentwood beat host Antioch, and Independence stopped Glencliff, both in three straight games, in the semifinals.

Great to see!!! https://www.timesfreepress.com/bestofpreps2024/Jaxon-Lane/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1ZWGaHB2ilMrnlyyumOPetIu9rF3aiBl0RtYQAEfwI3HxiFn--CtGziF8_aem_Achl6dRaS7Z-XOckkD2HqcBEsw7XwxkOKBY6-qTu8DCUR5253Zb_k5xogS7f0Dmq0Bq6wQdtwgcON0DQsPz-UlbN
    • A lot of people don’t realize how valuable JMO was. QB, safety, punter and holder on pat’s. Kid did it all. I fully believe if he was healthy Dburg would have made it to the ship last year. 
    • If Dyersburg quarterback who is also starting safety hadn’t got hurt it would of another blowout 
    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets!
